I haven't accepted MOs in a long time, but did before paypal. I only had 1 postal money order come back as a fake out of hundreds that I received. So I wouldn't be worried if it's a postal money order. Good luck with the transaction.

I remember the days of eBay in the mid nineties when we would all just send cash checks or money orders. I only got burned once and it was for like $5. Cash in a pwe wrapped in an auction printout lol. Amazing there are more scammers now than before.
